Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Even if you have the required lib, gnome-libs-devel-1.4.2
installed, the file structure has changed since year 2000.
The reason is : to keep gnome1 / glib1 / gtk+(1) and
gnome2 / glib2 / gtk+2 separate they got new directory
names. (in /usr/lib and /usr/include)
Enough of that, now to the good news :

knudfl:
Thanks-a-lot for ur reply, but i had already figured dat out and ma ipmsg is already runin.
But now there's another problem wit it.
I have a query. Installed on linux, does it communicate wit ipmsg installed on windows on the network(i expect it should), does it ??
Because at ma place it didn't.
and like windows it doesn't even show, ma own ip address.
